Lemmi Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 ive thought about selling atleast 80% of my collection this year in one chunk but after the 5200 sale i changed my mind its just to much hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I would do something similar to what Pitfall Harry did when he had his huge yard sale. Invite all the local collectors down for a party, get them good and drunk, then sell them everything at or above Digital Press prices.

sku_u Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I'd just sell off the rare stuff and toss all the common crap up on Ebay in one big lot. If it didn't sell, I'd toss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOK-dfa Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I did it once. I bought a collection from someone who 'started to persue other things in life'. I think i paid around $1000 for all of his stuff. Put it in my parents car (which was filled to the roof with stuff. Barely enough room left for me. Most have looked pretty funny on the highway). Basically i kept everything i didn't have for myself and sold the rest on ebay. I did sell everything as a seperate item. It was lots (and lots) of work but in the end it paid off. I sold most of the stuff for around $3000 total. So i got a bunch of rare items for myself (10% of the total) and sold the rest for a huge profit Was one of the best deals i ever had...
